UNIT SYMBOL MODIFIERS

Unit symbol modifiers are combined with basic unit function (branch)
symbols to create a composite symbol that represents a unique type of unit. All
modifiers are placed in either the center of the frame, upper half, or above the
basic function symbol with the exception of airborne, mountain, and light
modifiers. These are placed below the basic function symbol. In addition to
the modifier symbols, text may be used inside the symbol frame to further
clarify the symbol.
